In the blink of an eye following the beginning of the match, Raydon opened his eyes to the sight of the ocean and the feel of the fresh, salty breeze on his face.

He took a deep breath of the clean, tasty air, which was completely opposite to the slum's polluted, dirty air, filling his lungs to capacity and quenching his hunger.

"This fishy smell is really good." He was overcome by the smell of the sea, which made him think of the smell of seafood as he mumbled and looked around.

He could see that he was currently standing on a very small patch of land that was elevated significantly above the water. He could make out other pieces of land that were nearby, at a maximum distance of 10-15 meters, on the calm, never-ripening azure waters of the sea.

'This appears to be a sea region with small islands. 'As Raydon surveyed his surroundings, he observed at least twenty pieces of land with lush green fields on them.

He was contemplating whether this was a sea region and whether mobs could be on land or in the water when he was startled out of his train of thought by a voice from behind him.

''It seems like we are in an island region. We need to travel to other islands if we want to find mobs. Does anyone have the skill to get us across to the other island without having to swim through this sea? ''

When Raydon turned back to the source of the voice, he saw four young women, all of whom were stunningly beautiful and also delicious looking.

''No! Fuck! No! Not delicious. '' Raydon shook his head rapidly to clear his mind of any erroneous ideas.

One of the girls, who had just finished speaking, noticed Raydon shaking his head and muttering something. She raised her eyebrows at him and asked. ''What? Delicious? ''

Raydon raised his head once more in response to the question posed to him, glanced at the spaghetti-blond hair, olive-shaped eyes, and skin that looked as sweet and white as a marshmallow, and then quickly averted his eyes again and said.

''Eh? Nothing. Don't mind me. ''

'I'm not really craving human flesh, right? ' Raydon frantically pondered. Although it was clear that he lacked any sense of morality and would consume human flesh if necessary, the idea of consuming a member of his own race still made him queasy.

''Hey, are you okay? Hmm... You are the one who is level 1, correct? Look at that outfit. Are you a servant? ''

Raydon once more raised his head and saw the girl's moving meatball-like lips as she spoke.

This time, due to the fact that Raydon was wearing his items, he was mistaken for a regular household servant rather than a slum dweller.

''Yes, I'm the one who is level 1, but don't worry--I won't be traveling with you as a team anyhow. Besides, if I stay here any longer, I might eat you any minute, so I'd better leave. '' Raydon said the second part of his sentence quietly, then turned around and started thinking about which island he should go to first.

''E-Eat us? '' Obviously, the girls had heard what he said.

The girls' fantasies took flight as they pictured a boy and themselves stranded on an island engaging in sinister rituals together.

''What are you saying? Pervert!! '' Said the blonde girl angrily.

"You have a death wish. '' One of the other girls commented irritably.

''What are you talking about? You are merely a level 1 servant, yet you believe you can touch us? '' Another girl said.

''A-are you trying to s-seduce us with those c-captivating gray eyes, smooth white s-s-skin, and lean but muscular b-b-b-b-body? ''

And when the last girl said it in a flushed and slightly trembling tone, everyone paused and looked at her.

''W-what? '' The girl's blush intensified as she turned to face her teammates before averting her gaze once more.

Raydon, too, took one look at this girl before returning his gaze to the nearest island and thinking. 'I believe it is time to put my new skill combination to use. Hopefully, my boots will be able to withstand the impact.'

Raydon positioned himself to jump by bending his knees and lowering himself to the ground. Once he was in the ideal position, he pushed off the ground with all his might, concentrating his power on the muscles of his right leg while he chanted the name of the skill.

''Flame Burst. ''

*Bang*

A small explosion occurred just before his feet were swept off the ground, and a pressurized jet of black flame began to emerge from the sole of Raydon's right foot and propelled him into the air like a rocket.

'This is a lot stronger than I expected.' As Raydon ascended into the air and stood at the height of a six-story building, he thought.

''Despise. '' He immediately activated his second skill after his initial burst of speed had dissipated and his ascent had come to a halt.historical

With his eyes turning black, he cast a quick glance around the 400-meter radius. A few islands Raydon saw when he was on the ground were nothing compared to what he was seeing now. Raydon now realized that they were encircled by a myriad of islands of varying sizes. There were treeless plains and verdant forests among these islands. He has also seen a number of islands with bright red things wandering around on them.

He quickly made a mental note of which island had more mobs before looking at the forest-covered island, which he believed to be the biggest in this region, and starting to fall down.

*Bam*

Raydon landed with a superhero thud, kicking up dust and creaking the rock beneath his feet.

''C-cool. '' The girl's face had just started to look less flushed when she looked at Raydon once again, and this time it looked as if the smoke were about to come out of her ears.
